Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Protection Film

The price of the film depends on how large or small of an area you want to be protected. We offer competitively priced packages that fit almost any budget, from basic to extensive coverage.

You get what you pay for. Our company does not price-match. We focus on providing the highest degree of installation excellence and customer satisfaction utilizing premium grade 8 mil film. Newer companies in the industry sometimes rely on lower pricing, lower grade film, and less coverage per panel to attract price-sensitive customers because they, in general, cannot compete on the quality side. We focus on the future and the longevity of our business. It may be wiser to ask ‘Why is the ‘Other Company’ so cheap?’ rather than why we are more.

When properly maintained, 3M/VentureShield, Xpel, PremiumShield, and SunTek Protection film should not be yellow. We strongly encourage utilizing maintenance products such as cleaners, stain removers/inhibitors, and sealants to ensure the film’s longevity and long-term customer satisfaction. These products are easy to apply, reasonably priced, and are available through Fat Cat Customs.

Yes, but caution should be used when using a high-pressure wash, keeping the nozzle several inches away from the edge of the film. We recommend using Plexus Plastic Cleaner, available through Fat Cat Customs.

As long as the uncovered portions of the paint were regularly washed and waxed, then there would be no indication that film was ever installed if it were to be removed.

This is one of the many benefits of paint protection film – it does not have to be a permanent application; however, it may require professional removal. Today’s PPF uses an acrylic adhesive that can be safely removed with little or no residue, leaving your vehicle looking as great as the day you bought it.

Recommended cure time would be 15-30 days.

The cleaner the vehicle, the better; however, we would do the proper prep work.

It is important to understand that wax may leave a white line on the seam. We recommend not waxing over the seams and cleaning the film and uncovered portions separately to prevent wax buildup. If you accidentally wax over the seam, just use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and wipe along the seam. Be careful not to get excess alcohol on the film as the alcohol is a de-glossing agent. Another caution is to avoid buffing over the seams, which also creates a noticeable wax line.

3M/VentureShield, Xpel, and Nano-Fusion Paint Protection Film will protect your vehicle for years and remain virtually invisible.

No. 3M/VentureShield, Xpel, PremiumShield, and SunTek Paint Protection Film is UV stable but will allow UV rays to pass through the film safely. This feature eliminates the “two paint shades” problem resulting from traditional “bras.”
